5 Dear Parent or Guardian:
My name is John Jacobs and I am the Machine Shop Technology (MST) Teacher at Reading Muhlenberg
Career & Technology Center (RMCTC). I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to work with your child in
achieving his or her career goals in this dynamic and challenging field of work. As a member of the
instructional staff at RMCTC I want to take a moment of your time and provide you with some key information
about the MST class.
Grading System
Daily Work Ethic Grade
40%
Written assignments, Tests, Quizzes, Skill evaluations
60%
Daily Work Ethic Grades
A work ethic grade will be determined and documented on the Daily Grade Sheet each day. At the start of the
school year each item will be discussed and explained in detail to your child.
Written assignments, Tests and Quizzes
Theory lessons will be conducted on a daily basis and independent study may be assigned during the course of
the year. Written and practical tests and quizzes will be given throughout the year and will be reviewed in class.
These assignments are an opportunity to measure student success; therefore students are expected to study for
them.
Homework
I truly believe one of the best ways to learn something new or improve on an acquired skill is practice. As your
child advances through our curriculum it will become necessary to complete practice assignments that will
emphasize their newly acquired skills. I strive to provide as much hands-on/shop time as feasibly possible. In
order to maximize the students’ time in the shop, research and practice assignments will be given as homework.
The quantity and difficulty of these assignments will not be unreasonable. With that being said, if your child
has excessive absences or is having difficulty with a particular concept, their homework assignments may
increase in order to stay on schedule and improve their skill level.
Safety
Safety is priority #1 in the MST classroom and shop. Students will be required to take physical and written
safety tests for each piece of equipment. Students must retake safety tests until a 100% grade is achieved. Even
though a student may pass a safety test on a piece of equipment, the student’s right to use that piece of
equipment may be revoked if safety procedures are violated. Proper shop attire is a key component of our
efforts to keep your child safe while working in the MST shop. Shorts and /or long sleeves are not safe shop
attire and are not permitted in the MST shop.

Equipment
RMCTC Supplied
The Machine Shop Technology class is equipped with full size industrial machine tools and equipment. There
are many hand and precision measuring tools the students will also use when working in the shop. Each student
is issued a tool box that contains the basic hand and measuring tools they will use most frequently and a lab
coat/coverall. They are expected to be responsible for these tools and lab coat/coverall, and return them at the
end of each school year. Students who have lost or misplaced these items and do not return them, will be
responsible for the replacement costs. A sample equipment loan form is provided for your reference.
Student Supplied
Though I appreciate the enthusiasm, personal tools are not permitted to be brought in from home. RMCTC will
provide all the tools necessary for your child to succeed in this program. However, your child will need their
own pair of work boots by the second week of school. A key component of safe shop attire is the correct foot
wear. These boots must have leather uppers and rubber soles. Also, if your child elects not to wear the school
issued coveralls; he or she will need to wear long pants (covers the ankle) and a short sleeved shirt to school
each day.
I believe a good relationship and an open line of communication between a teacher, parent, and student is
essential for assisting students in achieving their career goals. With that in mind, I will be contacting you in
early September to introduce myself and to further discuss how we can have a successful school year.
In the meantime please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at:
jjacobs@rmctc.org or by phone at (610)921-7300, ext. 7428.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, I look forward to meeting and working with all of you!

COMMENTS
GRADE REPORTING
Purpose: The intent of this grading procedure is to provide a student grade that accurately reflects student
achievement. Progress will be measured in the areas of work ethics, and knowledge. All activities and
assessments that are required as the student progresses through their skills (learning guides) will be reflected
within the knowledge grade. Students will be evaluated according to established program standards on an
individual basis. The ClassMate grading software automatically calculates student grades using the following
formula:
Work Ethic 40%
Knowledge 60%
100%
Teachers must be able to justify grade percentages in the event of inquires or concerns.
Interpreting a Grade: The two levels of evaluation are described below:
Work Ethics Grade (40%): Each school day, every student receives a Work Ethics or daily grade. Criteria that
comprise these grades are safety, student behavior, preparation/participation, productivity or time on task,
professional appearance and extra effort. The Work Ethics grade range is based on a 0 to 10 model that
students may earn each day depending on how many criteria they satisfactorily meet.
NOTE: Impact of Absenteeism, Tardiness/Early Dismissals - The direct effect of absenteeism on a
students’ grade will be through the Work Ethic component of the grading formula. If a student is Tardy or has
an Early Dismissal the Work Ethic grade will automatically be defaulted to a five (5) from a possible ten (10)
points. The instructor may change this value as they see fit.
Knowledge Grade (60%): Throughout the marking period, a student’s cognitive knowledge about various
career-specific topics will be evaluated and recorded by the instructor. Examples of knowledge activities
include: lab/shop assignments, homework, quizzes, tests, and research activities. The Knowledge grade range
is based on actual points earned divided by the total accumulative points.
Task tracking: For the purpose of students earning a job title associated with their program are, teachers track
students’ skill/task work. Teachers identify specific criteria to evaluate each task performed, ranging from a 0
to 5 (not completed to mastery). Students must earn a 4 or 5, in order to credit the task towards earning the
specific job title. Students have the opportunity to revisit a task multiple times until successfully receiving
credit. The job titles a student earns will be listed on the student’s RMCTC certificate that is awarded at Senior
Recognition Night.
13 GRADE REPORTING (continued)
CTC Letter Conversion Table Grade Letter
100 – 97 A+
96 – 93 A
92 – 90 A89 – 87 B+
86 – 83 B
82 – 80 B79 – 77 C+
76 – 73 C
72 – 70 C69 – 65 D
64 – under F
Final Grade average is based on the student’s four (4) numerical marking period grades. The final average will
directly align to the letter conversion table listed above.
If a student has three (3) marking period grades of “F” the teacher shall give appropriate consideration to that
student not passing for the year. If a student is on an upward trend at the end of the school year, this may
justify having the student pass for the year. If the opposite is true, and the student is on a downward trend,
the student should receive a failing grade.
The individual teacher must evaluate each student’s achievement in terms of the expected goals for their
program area.
Failure to complete assignments, frequent lateness or absence, and demonstrated indifference to school are
major contributors to student failure. Blatant refusal to attempt or to complete a significant number of course
requirements may, by itself, justify a final course grade of "F".
The following divisions are given as a guide to recording and interpreting the grading system. It remains for
each teacher to objectively and fairly rate each student, not based upon personality, but performance.
Determination of Grades: Teachers will give thorough consideration using all grading components in
determining students’ grades to both class work and test results.
A = Excellent
1. This grade represents superior work and is distinctly an honor grade.
2. The excellent student has reached all course objectives with high quality achievement.
3. The excellent student displays unusual effort and works willingly and effectively in reaching required
objectives.
14 GRADE REPORTING (continued)
B = Good
1. This grade represents above average quality achievements.
2. The good student has reached a large majority of course objectives.
3. The good student is industrious and willing to follow directions.
C = Average
1. This grade represents acceptable quality achievements.
2. The average student has reached a majority of course objectives.
3. The average student is cooperative and follows directions, yet extra effort and improvement are needed for
more complete mastering of the material.
D = Passing
1. This grade represents a minimum acceptable quality achievement.
2. The student is performing below-average work and has not reached a majority of course objectives.
3. This achievement level indicates there is a great need for improvement, daily preparation and improved
dedication and attendance.
F = Failure
1. This grade represents unacceptable quality achievements.
2. The failing student has not reached necessary course objectives.
3. The failing student has not attempted to complete assignments, is constantly late or absent, and generally
has failed to accomplish the fundamental minimum essentials necessary in the program area.
4. It may be noted that generally a student does not fail because of a lack of ability; failure may be caused by
laziness, non-dedication, or a general disregard to directions of the teacher and the unwillingness to use
whatever ability he/she possesses.
Incomplete Grades: Incomplete grades must be updated no later than ten (10) days from the close of the
marking period. As soon as the work is completed and the grade is available, it must be reported to the
appropriate person.
Failures: Students who receive a failing final grade in a program area are permitted to repeat that program,
but are urged not to do so for obvious reasons. If this situation presents itself, students and parents are
advised to consider an alternative program which is probably more suited to the student's true interests and
aptitudes and not merely satisfying a short-term or unrealistic desire.
Attendance and its Impact upon Grades: The importance of regular school attendance and its positive
impact upon a student's performance grade cannot be overstated. If a student is absent, he or she does not
have the opportunity to keep pace with their classmates and must work independently to acquire the
information missed during any absence. Regardless of how well a student performs when he/she is present,
habitual absenteeism usually results in a failing performance grade. This situation is not unlike the conditions
of the business or industry for which the student is being trained.
15 GRADE REPORTING (continued)
Make up Work for Absences: Students have the opportunity to make-up school work due to an illness/being
absent from school. PROVIDED their absence is excused. Students must submit make-up work within the
following timelines:
1. One (1) to three (3) days excused absences – five (5) school days to complete assigned work.
2. Four (4) or more days excused absence – ten (10) school days to complete assigned work.
All work missed through unexcused absences will be graded as a zero
Report Cards (See Progress Reports): Students will receive a report card from the sending school district
which will reflect the student’s grade from their Career & Technology program. Students will also receive a
report card from RMCTC reflecting their program grade and Social Studies grade, where applicable. In
addition, grades are available on the parent portal.
Senior Recognition Night: Reading Muhlenberg Career & Technology Center hosts an annual Senior
Recognition Night, which honors our senior students. During this event, all senior students in attendance are
recognized and may also receive awards that they have earned relevant to their accomplishments while
attending Reading Muhlenberg CTC.
PARENT PORTAL: The Parent Portal is available for parents/guardians to view your child’s progress by
accessing the RMCTC District Portal on the School’s web-site; www.rmctc.org. This will give you up to date
information related to your child’s attendance, grades (work ethic and knowledge), discipline referrals and
schedule. In order to use this resource, you must provide the CTC with a current email address and register
online.
Log onto www.rmctc.org, click on “Parents”, then click on “parent portal” which will navigate you to the link
where you will log into the portal. You will have to “create an account” on your first visit to the portal by using
your email address (you need to use the email address you provided us on your child’s application) and setting
up a password. Once registered you may return at any time to view your child’s information.
Please utilize our website, to track your child’s progress by viewing their grades and attendance, along with
any discipline action. In addition you will be able to review your child’s report cards & progress reports as soon
as they are available. You also have the ability to select the option to receive email notifications for specific
instances that you choose. You can choose to receive an email automatically if your child is absent/tardy or
both, if your child receives a discipline referral or suspension and if your child receives a specific grade.
